Jeff Turner Quotations

We started out playing well, but we had a mental meltdown in the second half.

We were disappointed in the city council but not surprised.

He was trying to do too much too quick when he got in there. We told the kids at halftime that going into the fourth quarter, we wanted that lead cut in half. We did better than that.

We've been wanting him to do that since Day 1. I think he was fed up.

Hopefully, we can put a chink in their armor. They're playing pretty well right now.

(Will) Faulkner had five 3-pointers against us and Andrew Estes had a great game the first time. We didn't let them do that this time. That was a couple of keys.

We were new in the office business, so we brought Blair on board because he's a seasoned veteran. We told him he'd be a rock star if he leased some of the building -- instead he leased the whole thing.

We played close to our potential in the second half. Being competitive was the big thing. We didn't compete against Onsted, Tecumseh and Clinton.

We were in the bonus in the first half and had a chance to extend our lead. It was like a different game in the second half. We made 20 second-half fouls.

We like our location because of the direct access to 45 and quick access to UP.

We're trying everything. We brought up three sophomores to try to give us a spark in practice. It worked, but we still can't seem to get over the hump.

We've designed it and prepared ourselves that if we have to multi-tenant it we will.

This will last a lot longer than a party night.

We are encouraged because there is plenty of case law that shows that a large urban city can't make decisions that adversely affect the suburbs.

We had a good well-rounded year in 2005.

We got a great draw. We get to watch Erie Mason-Milan and East Jackson-Chelsea. We figure if we play two good games, we have a chance to win a District.

We got the ball inside. We thought there was contact, but they didn't call anything.

We expect him to be a force offensively (as a tight end), a force defensively and fill any spots we need. We really need Kevin to be a leader on and off the field and if Kevin does that, he's the total package.

The responsibility of the school district is to prepare for the future and make sure we are able to provide facilities and a high level of education to every student. Should there be future developments, we will have land there to create buildings.

AT&T will be really aggressive in terms of moving into this space.

It was by no means what we expected, but it was a good learning experience. It should motivate them to work harder next year. We have eight juniors and our JV team was 15-5.

That's one of the better games he's had. The kids did a great job. They battled, and I'm proud of them. We could've rolled over, but we didn't.

It was a bad night all the way around.

It takes time to gel, no doubt about. You can't come in and plug a hole, you've got work at it.

This is just proper procedure when buying land. We want to make sure it is a clean piece of property that will eventually be useable.

I haven't been in this position for a while. We've lost Kevin House (to an injury) and that has hurt. We just can't seem to get over the hump.

I have to give the kids a lot of credit. We were struggling, but we didn't let up on them in practice. We worked them harder. We talked about not settling for an average shot, but working for a good one. We did that in the second half.

He's so dedicated. The only time he missed a practice in his two years on the varsity was when he came with the flu and we sent him home.

He's mature beyond his years, and he's only going to get better.
